The Cosmic Rider gives us a series of tales about the Mad Titan himself, Thanos, across the saga of his long life. Is it a good read?
The Avengers are still caught in the game between the Grandmaster and the Challenger, with Voyager's role in it all still a mystery. Plus, the Hulk is back and madder than ever. Is it a good read?
Before arriving at the current Black Panther series, we are going to take a look back at a couple of teams he enjoyed before the newest series under Ta-Nehisi Coates.
From my personal experience, I had actually become more interested in T'Challa after reading about him in Al Ewing's Ultimates and Ultimates Squared Jonathan Hickman's New[...]
The question becomes who to send in to the Astral Plane to fight these gods.

What does Maximus the Mad learn from Maximus the Mage?
Royals #12 cover by Javier Rodriguez and Alvaro Lopez
While this comic is an interesting read with some dramatic reveals about the intentions of the Progenitors, it is quite an underwhelming finale to a comic book series.
Yes, Al Ewing is writing a follow-up mini with Inhumans: Judgement[...]
Based on the 1984 Bruce Springsteen hit off the album Born in the U.S.A., Avengers: No Surrender is written by Mark Waid, Jim Zub, and Al Ewing, and issues #683-686 are mostly drawn by by Paco "Funky Cold" Madina, with some help by Joe Bennett on #684.
In a press release, Marvel revealed Mark Brooks's covers[...]
Similarly, in the Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Young Avengers run, he stated how Asgardians didn't have concepts like straight and gay, and so such things don't factor into his own sexuality.
In Al Ewing and Lee Garbett's Loki: Agent of Asgard, Loki changed shape and gender a few times.
Sadly, readers have a little while to wait[...]

U.S.Avengers #12 from Marvel Comics by Al Ewing, Paco Diaz, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Caramagna is a great example of when Marvel Comics can do really well, with a fun superhero adventure story that also has a layered commentary on the world outside our window This particular issue takes a very specific focus on[...]
The Inhuman Royals have narrowly escaped the Progenitors, but they still need the Prima Materia. This means facing the Progenitors again. Is it a good read?
Based on the hit Bruce Springsteen song off his 1984 album Born in the U.S.A. — we assume — Avengers: No Surrender is co-written by Mark Waid, Al Ewing, and Jim Zub, and features a rotating art team of Pepe Larraz, Kim Jacinto, and Paco "Funky Cold" Medina.
"In month two of NO SURRENDER, the rubber hits the road[...]

In Royals #10, the Inhuman Royal Family have arrived on the planet system of the Progenitors, the gods of the Kree. Is it a divine read?
Certainly, the original Avengers seems to be important part of the upcoming Avengers: No Surrender event, with a lot of artwork centred around the original Avengers statue with the addition of mysterious new character Voyager.
Avengers: No Surrender will be made up of the several Avengers titles currently being released, Avengers, USAvengers and Uncanny Avengers, creating[...]
It's begun to interest me more and more in recent issues, but, even then, it didn't really have me grabbed.
This issue changed that.
Royals #9 is awesome.
It feels like this is the story that writer Al Ewing really wanted to tell, and everything before this was an extended prologue intended to build up to this and[...]
Al Ewing and Mike del Mundo will be teaming up for Inhumans: Judgement Day, starting in January 2018 Ewing called the series "the capstone" of the Inhumans story they've been telling The story will essentially be Earth vs The Progenitors, the conclusion of the Inhumans story coming out of ResurrXion Daniel Acuna is on covers,[...]
Sunspot is cool as ever, Squirrel Girl is endearing, Cannonball has the Midwest charm, and Toni Ho is an intellectual badass.
I followed Al Ewing's New Avengers all the way up until U.S.Avengers I dropped it for a number of reasons: there were other titles I wanted to read, Power Man, White Tiger, Wiccan, Hulkling, and[...]
The style is nostalgic of older comic book art in a manner somewhat akin to Art Adams.
Flint actually gets some panel time in the second half of the comic, as well, which hasn't really happened much since that one issue where we manipulated the gravitational pull of entire planet.
When Noh-Varr touches the Skyspear, his visions[...]
I liked Hickman and Spencer's work quite a bit, but it never quite reached the level of enjoyment I got from Bendis's books.
Al Ewing did manage to reach that level and even exceed it at times with his Mighty Avengers and Captain America and the Mighty Avengers books I loved those series, and, when he[...]
In the realm of Al Ewing work, it is still greatly overshadowed by his Ultimates, New Avengers, and Mighty Avengers, but it does show potential Hopefully the ever-nearing Progenitors, which seem like an interesting concept to introduce here, will raise the book into greatness.
I can recommend this one, but it still seems like an unrealized[...]

Ultimates Squared is a fantastic comic, and this issue is one of the best. It has big ideas, a lot of action, and the art brings it all to life marvelously.
Al Ewing is one of Marvel's top-tier writers right now, and I've yet to see a comic title from him that is less than good — with the exception of the odd off single issues.
Ronan the Accuser is one of the best sometimes-villains in the Marvel Universe He stands against the heroes in only so[...]
Avengers come Marvel Legacy this week, and, changing the industry once again, the book will stay mostly the same when issue #11 drops this Fall.
But in this case, maybe that's a good thing!
As write Al Ewing and artist Paco Diaz deliver U.S Avengers #11 as part of the Marvel Legacy line-wide lenticular not-a-relaunch, fans will be[...]
Royals by Al Ewing and Javier Rodriguez will be affected by… basically continuing to tell its ongoing story without interruption Hey, in the modern comics industry, that's borderline revolutionary!

Al Ewing's Ultimates has been one of Marvel's absolute best titles since the launch of All-New, All-Different Marvel Its mixture of character-focused plots and universe-shaking near-disasters make for an enthralling read It also goes into some interesting and even semi-meta means of adding depth to the existential origins and gods of the Marvel Multiverse.
"But[...]
